Fedora

Fedora isn't officially supported by the Docky developers and we do not accept bugs from users using Fedora systems.
The reason is that Fedora isn't following freedesktop.org standards in areas that Docky needs and they have sub-par support for Mono.

Fedora is still missing a packaged version of gio-sharp-2. So you would need to build it from source and install it!

Gentoo Linux

There is an ebuild for docky-2.0.1 provided in the gnome-extra overlay.
For docky-9999 to install the latest revision from trunk - there is an ebuild in gentoo-china overlay. Docky-9999 depnds on gio-sharp-2 which is not provided directly by any overlay yet. It only exists in the dev-zero overlay's git repo as an attachment.
Installation:

Docky 2.0.1:

layman -a gnome-extra
emerge docky

Docky from bazar:

Get the gio-sharp ebuild.
Add it to a custom overlay and merge it. For more information on custom overlays please follow the Gentoo documentation.

Add gentoo-china overlay and emerge docky-9999

layman -a gentoo-china
emerge =gnome-extra/docky-9999

Installing

Once all the dependencies are installed, the Docky source can be branched by:

bzr branch lp:docky

and then built and installed system wide by:

cd docky
./autogen.sh
makesudomakeinstall

Or to install into the home directory of the current user:

cd docky
./autogen.sh --prefix=$HOME/.local
makemakeinstall

The Docky binary will then end up at ~/.local/bin/docky

Updating

If you followed the directions above to install from source, run:

bzr pull

in the Docky source directory. Then to recompile and install the updated version, run:
